Ok, I know there's probably evidence it was going to get eaten or whatever, but my head cannon is that a monk befriended an injured porpoise and took care of it for long enough to realize that there was a mind of intelligence in it and they became friends and when it eventually died the Abbot wouldn't let him bury it in the graveyard because hallowed ground or whatever so he dug it a little grave where it could still see the water and did his own last rites over it and it was beautiful and sad and no one is going to convince me otherwise.

[@troodon1096]

tl;dr: the British Channel Islands have so much fascinating morbid history! HOLY SMOKES I can’t believe my home islands have made it onto KZbin!! And in a video about dead porpoises of all things! I live on Alderney, which is next to Guernsey but smaller and much more rural. 2000 people live here now and we still go nuts when someone spots a porpoise or a seal in the sea. It probably happens 4 or 5 times a year, but by now we’re out of the habit of eating them. Alderney has its own much spookier morbid history, too... the island, which is British, was occupied by Germans in the Second World War - making it the only British soil that Nazi forces ever walked on. Many hundreds of foreign slave labourers from all around the world were shipped here to build stone defences, forts, and concrete bunkers that would have been essential in the event of a German invasion of England. That invasion never happened, and the German troops posted here, alongside 7 native islanders who refused to follow Churchill’s evacuation order, eked out a miserable, almost impossible existence trying to survive off an island that had been decimated by the German war effort. Amidst this ruin, heartbreakingly, many of the foreign slave labourers were worked to death. Without the means or desire to repatriate their bodies, with a reusable coffin the soldiers buried them in a mass grave on a wild, brushy common. The slapdash burial efforts of the disgruntled and frankly inexperienced German soldiers was finally put right after the end of the war, when allied officials liberated the islands and supervised the rebuilding by German troops of several of the houses that had been ripped apart to provide firewood, masonry materials, and glass. Then, in 2018, an excavation just 10s of metres away from this historic burial site revealed bone fragments of ROMAN bodies that had been buried in 2BC. 2BC!!! As well as evidence of settlement. There’s a small fragment of herringboned stone wall nearby - incorporated into a larger, Victorian nunnery, that is also Roman. These islands aren’t that well know, and they hold SO many fascinating - sometimes morbid - secrets. There’s certainly a lot more buried here than just porpoises and handless monks! Maybe one day a video could be made about some more morbid Channel Island mysteries...

[@sweetarchangel6748]

Ms. Doughty, I just want you to know that "Theory: The First - Sacred Porpoise" is the best single phrase I've ever heard in my life.

[@Parasaurolophus476]

Is funny, in the book Moby Dick, Melville mentioned the monks eating porpoise thing. Kind of connects the subject back to two videos.

[@ferocient]

Yes, the monks of Dunfermline made "billiard ball size" meatballs out of them! lol

[@sweetnsaltydipali]

I laughed so hard at "the iron age was useless".

[@ChiTengoku]

Dipali Same!!!! So much shade on the Iron Age!

[@mndyD9]

Couldn’t stop laughing at your monk skit! Also “The iron ages were useless” 😂 So hilarious! Caitlin you’re thee best 👏🏻

[@VelvetCondoms]

This is almost 9 minutes long and it's still shorter than literally every instant pot recipe on the internet.

"For this recipe, you will need..." - Mrs.C

[@언니서한]

Thankfully No onions needed for this recipe. They ARE only for the poor 👀

[@fonsineknshr]

OH NO/YES

[@UserRedZero]

Now are we completely 100% sure this wasn’t the tragic end of a weredolphin living among us?

[@meganh2]

I misread the title as “Grave of the secret Purpose” and got excited because that sounded magical. I was not disappointed.

[@ShutItKyle]

Me: *deeply asleep at 3am* Caitlin: "S e c r e t p o r p o i s e"

[@halseyseneschal5196]

We really haven’t had a surprise Bentham’s Head in a little while, have we?

[@meezchef]

Why do I suddenly want to write and entire cozy mystery novel based around this porpoise.

[@aubreyackermann8432]

A comedic mystery on the porpoise? I'd buy it!

[@herlastvoyage]

Do it!

[@JuNTaBiOs]

[@snazzypazzy]

Glad I was not alone!

[@Aizawa_Shouta_]

We all have an important porpoise in life but sometimes we have to keep it a secret.

[@nicolaharris2679]

When your home (I’m a Guernsey resident) and profession (marine biologist) meet 😵. Love your videos Caitlin! Our island has a pretty odd and morbid past so its weird but lovely to hear it discussed 😛.

[@jamesking9802]

Nicola Harris was this on the news when it was found? I live on Guernsey as well, but I’ve never heard of this strange occurrence.

[@sarahk6545]

I don’t remember it being in the press personally but it was on display in the foyer at Candie museum for a while

[@camillastacey4674]

My aunt lives on Guernsey so I've had lots of visits. I saw about the discovery somewhere a while back but never expected to see this video.

[@ciel9112]

3:49 "what happened to his hands?" "What?" "His HANDS, Carl, what happened to his HANDS?" "Well I kinda cooked them up. And ate them." "....CAAAAAAAAARL" (if you don't get this reference, you're too young)

[@jennygump5835]

Caaaarrrrllllll that kills people

[@jewelofkedrinh6596]

“What is wrong with you CAARL??”

[@CluelessTheLlama13]

My tummy had the rumblies that only hands could satisfy.

[@reneemargaret9865]

Oh my god I am dying of laughter now!!!! XD

[@melody3741]

Also the bloopers at the end of this episode were very special thank you for letting us see that

[@nashidrountree2457]

I'm gonna need some more Binging with Brother Doughty content😂

[@ranthropologist]

now I want a new board game called “Dont Tell The Abbot”

[@EpicKate]

Kind of like Don't wake Daddy, have you ever heard of that one?

[@brianking81]

"Hey Abbot!"

[@crabbyj]

Altar boys everywhere just cringed in fear...

[@PrismCasillica]

"Can you keep your secret stash of porpoise away from the Abbot and other players?"

[@janedoex1398]

Yessss! The board has to be printed like a brick wall with beautiful marmor tiles where the players go along. With sudden traps like the opening to a mausoleum or grave underneath....not a fixed place but one can open it by rolling the dice.... With big , detailed figurines like the WOW board game....

[@deanaderrick3474]

I love that I've found this channel during Lent. "Deathlings, that we are!" I had also already been reading As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner. All these things filtered through the words of the Ash Wednesday service. Thank you for providing this most interesting and entertaining addition to compliment this Lent for me.

[@Rhewin]

I’ve listened to you say “porpoise” so much it doesn’t sound right anymore.

[@ChennaJCook]

Every time she says "porpoise" take a shot! (Hopefully of something like White Claws for the sake of your liver.)

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

I LOVE how Caitlin is low-key channeling Mrs Crocombe for this

[@ladykazzlet88]

I love this!!!! I've lived on the tiny island of Guernsey all my life and this is the first I have ever heard about this! I can't believe I would find out something so close to home from one of my fave KZbinrs who is so very far from tiny Guernsey!!

[@EvalynDick]

The ongoing joke which began with benthams head is one of my favourite things including all alternative versions I do like your outtakes during the credits, it means i watch through to the end of the video

[@ThisAndromedaCat]

Habeus porpoise corpus edit: You'd think with the word 'porpoise' RIGHT THERE IN THE TITLE I'd spell it right, but no

[@bilindalaw-morley161]

I remember hearing of a friend's conversation with her depressed father, bemoaning his retirement funds. He sighed and said,"I dunno, I reckon by the time I die you'll have to stick me in one of those dolphin's graves".

[@klee_of_c8082]

Was he a monk?

[@t.r.luxx1311]

I literally just woke up and had to do a double take to make sure I read the title of this video correctly 😂😂😂 I'm pretty sure I stared at my phone just rereading the title trying to process a sentence I never thought I'd encounter

[@EpicKate]

I love this comment, thanks for making me smile!

[@rcling1335]

Are you saying that the monk did it on porpoise. Surely he didn’t want to “flipper” anyone off.

[@TheMissbehaven1]

Roflmao

[@irisElee]

The CDC's "Covid19 - Healthy Ways to Cope with Stress" webpage should list "Watch Ask a Mortician video daily" at the top.

[@Jo-kc5gp]

The beginning had me so confused ... and then the song and title card played

[@DowntownTasty]

I’ve been blessed. I’ve been wondering about the secret porpoise and managed to see this right as it got uploaded Rest In Peace Saint Porp of Iss

[@emilyvogt66]

Craig Richard: "Saint Porp of Iss"... 🤣

[@yumibro8121]

Hi! I’ve been a big fan for a while now and I wanted to say thanks for your continued passion and positivity. My grandmother died of corona virus recently and you book Smoke Gets In Your Eyes/KZbin videos have really been helping me cope and grieve. Thank you for bringing comfort, acceptance, and even humor into countless lives (and deaths) including my own :)

[@ghostlover26]

I’m entertained also by the fact she held the stuffed animal the entire time. 🤣🐬
